	Gospel Of St John - LoveToKnow 1911
		John the Baptist testified concerning Him, the Logos-Light and Logos-Life incarnate; but this Logos alone, who is in the bosom of the Father, bath declared the very God.
		John omits, at the last supper, its central point, the great historic act of the holy eucharist, carefully given by the Synoptists and St Paul, having provided a highly doctrinal equivalent in the discourse on the living bread, here spoken by Jesus in Capernaum over a year before the passion (vi.
		If the dead man was John the presbyter - if this John had in youth just seen Jesus and the Zebedean, and in extreme old age had still seen and approved the Gospel - to attribute this Gospel to him, as is done here, would not violate the literary ethics of those times.

	Epistles of Saint John
		The argument from Polycarp's use of I John is strengthened by the fact that he was, according to Irenæus, the disciple of St. John.
		Hence it is that Papias, in joining John with Aristion, speaks of John the Elder and not of Aristion the Elder; Aristion was not an elder or Apostle.
		The reason for joining the Aristion with John at all is that they were both witnesses of the present to Papias, whereas all the Apostles were witnesses of the past generation.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. John the Evangelist
		John was the son of Zebedee and Salome, and the brother of James the Greater.
		John alone remained near his beloved Master at the foot of the Cross on Calvary with the Mother of Jesus and the pious women, and took the desolate Mother into his care as the last legacy of Christ (John 19:25-27).
		After the Resurrection John with Peter was the first of the disciples to hasten to the grave and he was the first to believe that Christ had truly risen (John 20:2-10).

	John, Gospel of - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		The healing of the child of the royal officer (John 4:46-53) can scarcely be identified with the healing of the centurion's servant (Mt, Lk); but even if the identification were allowed, this is all we have in the Fourth Gospel of the events of the ministry in Galilee.
		In John 1 Jesus is twice greeted as the Messiah (1:41,45), and twice described as the Son of God (1:34,49).
		We find also that when John "heard in the prison the works of the Christ," and "sent by his disciples and said unto him, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?" (Matthew 11:2), the answer of Jesus was a reference to a passage in Isaiah 61.

		Presbyter Johannes, or Prester John as he is known in English, was a mythical medieval emperor whose domain was said to have extended from the ruins of Babylon to beyond India.
		John’s enormous wealth was demonstrated by the fact that he carried a sceptre of pure emeralds.
		Such adventures had many objectives, including the discovery of such marvels as: griffins; men with eyes in the back as well as the front of their heads; a waterless sea where fish could be easily caught on the dry beach; and stones called Nusiosi that restored sight to the blind.

	The Second Letter of John - Open Your Bible - Sherwood Eliot Wirt
		John the elder addresses this brief letter to a Christian woman named Kyria and her children.
		Assuming that this was a distinguished Christian woman John was addressing (verse 1), you could discuss the ways in which God used women in the New Testament.
		Verses 7 through 11 of 2 John should be studied with particular care and compared with marginal references in other New Testament letters, and with church tendencies in our own time, both for similarities and dissimilarities.

		Secondly the identity of John, son of Zebedee with the person referred to as "the beloved disciple" is based primarily on parallel passages in the synoptics.
		The identification of the "beloved disciple" with "John, the son of Zebedee" is false.
		John 18:15-16 mentioned an unnamed "the other disciple, who was known to the chief priest" who was with Peter outside the courtyard of the chief priest during the interrogation of Jesus.

	Gospel of John
		For one, the dialogue of John the Baptist is identical to Jesus’ dialogue, indicating one person wrote the narrative with his own engaging, voluble Greek style and philosophy; and not that these are accurate sayings.
		Though Papias clearly divided between John the Apostle and John the Elder (see Canon of the New Testament and Irrelevant Revelation), he states plainly that the Elder John was a disciple, and so too was Aristion.
		The Jesus of the Gospel of John is a Greek demigod or hero, not the one of the Synoptics or the Scriptures.

	John the Evangelist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tradition has identified him with John the Apostle (an apostle mentioned in the Gospels), John the Presbyter (the author of the second and third epistles of John), and with John of Patmos (the author of the Book of Revelation).
		John is associated with Ephesus (where his reputed grave is), and in Ephesus John lived with and cared for Mary, the mother of Jesus.
		The author of this Gospel is also sometimes presumed to be the author of 1 John, and rarely also 2 John and 3 John, though the fourth century Council of Rome decreed that the author of 1 John and that of 2and3 John should be regarded as distinct individuals, and modern textual criticism agrees.

	John, the Apostle - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		That John was one of the two sons of Zebedee, that he became one of the disciples of Jesus, that at His call he forsook all and followed Jesus, and was thereafter continuously with Jesus to the end, are facts familiar to every reader of the Synoptic Gospels.
		The call was given to John and to his brother James at the Sea of Galilee, while in a boat with their father Zebedee, "mending their nets" (Matthew 4:21,22, and parallel passages).
		"The evidence for the early martyrdom of John the son of Zebedee is, in fact, threefold: (a) a prophecy of Jesus preserved in Mark 10:39 = Matthew 20:23, (b) the witness of Papias, and (c) the calendars of the church" (Intro to Lit.

		In John 1 Jesus is twice greeted as the Messiah (John 1:41, John 1:45), and twice described as the Son of God (John 1:34, John 1:49).
		Reference is made to the case of Nicodemus (John 3:1 ff.), to the Samaritans (John 4:41 f.), and other incidents of the same kind, with the view of proving that at this early stage of the ministry of our Lord such confessions are unlikely, and even impossible.
		We find also that when John "heard in the prison the works of the Christ," and "sent by his disciples and said unto him, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?" (Matthew 11:2), the answer of Jesus was a reference to a passage in Isa.

	St. John
		John was perhaps the youngest of the Apostles and remained with Jesus' mother, Mary, at the foot of the cross when nearly all of the other Apostles abandoned Him.
		As the oldest apostle, John was the Patriarch of the Church of Asia Minor, the father of bishops, the guardian of truth, the inspired writer of the last revelation.
		John, the apostle whom Jesus loved the most, the son of Zebedee, the brother of the apostle James whom Herod beheaded after the death of the Lord, has written a Gospel as the last of all requested by the bishops of Asia.

		Vehemently denouncing the spectacle his sermon began "Again Herodias is raging, again she is excited, again she is dancing, again she is seeking to obtain the head of John." His following became so large that the bishopric of Constantinople was practically forced upon him by being kidnapped and carried to Constantinople and made patriarch.

	St. Papias (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Again, he seems to distinguish the sayings of the disciples of the Lord, Aristion and John, from those of the Presbyters, as though the latter were not disciples of the Lord.
		Again, "The Presbyter" who wrote I and II John has the name of John in all MSS., and is identified with the Apostle by Irenaeus and Clement, and is certainly (by internal evidence) the writer of the fourth Gospel, which is attributed to the Apostle by Irenaeus and all tradition.
		That St. John is mentioned twice in the list of Papias's authorities is explained by the distinction between his earlier sayings which the Presbyters could repeat and the last utterances of his old age which were reported by visitors from Ephesus.

		His knowledge of St. John's Gospel is proved not merely by his mention of aloes, but by a citation of John xiv, 2, which occurs in the curious prophecy of a miraculous vintage in the millennium which he attributed to Our Lord (Irenaeus, V, xxxvi).
		Where he attributes to these followers of John the assertion that Our Lord sanctified all the ages of man, that Papias had inferred that Our Lord reached the age of fifty, as Irenaeus concludes, nor need we be too certain that Papias explicitly cited the Presbyters in the passage in question.

	John the Presbyter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It appears through this catalogue of names that the John who is placed among the disciples is not the same as the elder, or presbyter John, whom Jerome places after Aristion in his enumeration.
		A natural motivation for conflating John the Apostle, as author of the Gospel of John, and John the Presbyter, was that it would bring his pupil Papias one step closer to the Apostolic tradition.
		In the Middle Ages legend began to accrue about such a mysterious "presbyter John" in the East: see "Prester John".

	REVIEWS: The Apocalypse Unsealed
		Mr James M. Pryse accepts it unreservedly as the work of the Apostle John, but we ought to mention that there is a long string of authorities against this view.
		This Dionysius makes a certain John the Presbyter, as of note in Asia Minor in the 1st century, and distinct from the Apostle, to be the author of the book.
		He quite believes it is a work of the Apostle John, and defends the style; amongst these there are some doubtless who are narrow-minded, but here, and still more prominently in America, there are broad-minded clergy who will welcome the Unsealing.
